It just so happens that I fixed this bug last week (r17367).  The cause was a
clash between Perl's libutil and Nix's libutil, which only happens during "make
check" (because Libtool generates a wrapper script that sets DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH).
 The installed executables don't rely on DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, so they worked fine.
